THE bill changing inauguration day
from March to April Both has passed
the senate and is now before the house
This change will fix the inaugural cere-
monies at time when the weather is
likely to be agreeable. This is of itself a
sufficient reason, for the Imagination of a
president has become great occasion,
drawing together thousands upon thous-
snds of people. But there are other and
graver reasons for the amendment. 1t
will greatly increase the working capa
city of congress by substantially doubling
the short session. which now practically
begins after the holidays and closes on
the 4th daY OF March, The addition Of
ffty-six days Will greatly relieve the
pressure upon congress.

OPPOSED TO THE GUARANTEE.


BosToN, Jan % In the supreme court of
Massachusetts the papers have been filed in
the suit of Clarence II. Nenner. of Boston, a
stakeholder in the Atchison, Topeka & Santa
Fe Railway company, to restrain the direct
OTIS and officers of the Atchison company

Chicago extension of the Atchison, Topeka
q Santa Fe Railway company, and 1t bad

gage per cent gold bonds would Be offered

right under Its charter to guarantee the notes
or bonds of any corporation exist ne under the
laws of any other state than Kansas, where

Crowds Yearning for Lager-The Chai-
iense Accepted.
DEs MONIES, Iowa, Jan 25-On last Sat
uriay the brewers If this city opened their
houses for the sale of beer by the glass, de-
pending upon the federal license to sustain
their right TO sell They did big business,
but ON Monday when they again opened the
crowd was larger and the demand for the
beverage correSpondingly increased At
times the rush was SO great that the doors
were temporarily locked until all those
within had drunk their ill, when they were
unlocked and fresh and thirsty
stables visited the breweries and
bought beer for the purpose Of obtaining
evidence of the sale. They were as cordially
served as the unofficial tippiers. One Of the
brewers remarked that he was selling to any
boiy regardless of his position; that his
trade was good-better than he had expected
and when asked on what authority he was
acting, replied on the authority OF Judge
Love, of the Federal district court This is
doubtless putting it pretty strong, as Judge
Love would scarcely issue an order be-
fore preliminary hearing had been granted
these alleged violaters of the law
Attorney General Baker, who is acting
for the state was very reticent Monday as to
the course he would pursue, but did not pro-
pose to have matters running in their present
course. The brewers attorneys stated that
their clients were depending on the federal
court for relief, and that their right to sell
rested upon the federal statute, which pro-
vides that during the tendency Of any ques-
ton before federal court any action of
state court bearing upon the question is void.
Monday afternoon Paul and Frank Mates,
of the East Side brewery, were arrested on
warrant issued by Justice Miller, of Ssylor
township. Application will be made to
Judge Love for writ of habeas corpus, and
thus the case will go to the federal court
just where the brewers want it The Pro-
hibitionists are considerably nonplussed at
the bold stand taken by tho brewers They
dread the issue in the federal court, fearing
that tribunal will decide against them

Women In Sleeping-Cars.

tits amusing to watch some women
get ready for bed on a sleeping-car, or
it would be if we could penetrate the
curtains screen. They unbutton their
shoes, unhook their dress, and unfast-
en- petticoats and corsets. Then, arm
ed with big fan, they lie down out
side the cover and worry through a
miserable, sleepless night. In the
morning they refasten their garments,
'slick up" tumbled locks, and look as
hot, feverish, and uncomfortable as
they feel. To undress deeently and
comfortably and go to bed is the best
plan. At least remove corset, shoes,
stockings, and dress. Roll or remove
clothing into neat, compact bundle,
put trinkets or articles easily forgot
ten or misplaced into your shoe. A
woman dressing in a hurry may forget
her watch or pOcket-book, but she was
never known to forget her shoe. Have
pretty eolored wrapper made with
yoked front, Watteau back, and rib
bon belt, to sleep in, then in the morn

The Secret of Sighting.

have travelled good deal over the
country, and have met some of the
finest shots in the world, and without
exception they have all acknowledged
that they sighted the rifle or revolver
before shooting. Many of them, when
talking with what they call Tender
foot, will tell him that they do not
sight-that they ''can't tell how they
do it, seems to come natural to them"
and all such bosh, but let them get to
talking among themselves, or to man
who can shoot little himself, and
they tell a different story. A man has
plenty of time to take sight at swift
moving object if he handles his gun
right, and that is where two-thirds of
the secret of the snap shooting lies.
A man should practice with his rifle
until, when he brings it to his shoulder
it will be almost where he wants it.
Sometimes it will be exactly right the
Instant it touches his shoulder, but
that will not do to depend on. A little
practice of this kind, and you will find
that when the gun strikes the shoul-
der your eye will be aligned with the
sights, and all you have to do is to
change it the fraction of an inch to
get it where you want it. 1t is all
done in a quarter of a second, and a
man is just as sure of his sight and
can call his shot with as much GER
tainty as he would it shooting at
sill target. There is one feature about
it that | wish to call your attention to
particularly, and that is the absence of
the noise and smoke and recoil that
there is about shotgun shooting. In
the field, of course, one doesn't mind
it. but at the trap it gets monotonous.
With the 22-calibre there is, of course,
no recoil, scarcely any smoke, and
very little noise.-Dss Moines Reg
tster.
